While I appreciate the above arguments about "doing something useful" being on the ground in a country is a bit like pregnancy and life...... Either you are or you aren't......

Yeah, how do you count?

I've been to pre-turnover Hong Kong, Yugoslavia and East Germany.


As for the doing something useful bit--I don't count Israel as a place I've been even though I landed at the airport. Simple plane change, nothing more.
